Cloud9

Predictions

This match will be very close and unsafe to bet on.
Cloud 9 and Faze are the number 2 and 3 in NA at the moment. Taking maps off each other for breakfast, lunch and dinner if you will. Key factor for this match up will be the players and how well the enemy does in shutting down each star player.

Since Overwatch Open we clearly know that Faze’s strategies often evolve around their star player Shadowburn. He is an exceptional Genji player if not the best Genji in EU and NA right now. We saw him do incredible things, even if the enemy team picks heroes to counter him just because of the awesome backup of his teammates. Giving him the space he needs will determine if they have the upper hand in this series.

Similar thing goes for Cloud 9. Creating space for Surfour to act together with his fellow fragster Mendokusaii is key. Those two players, with the help of ryb on Reinhardt and Roolf on Ana have to shut down Shadowburn as soon as they can!

I personally would give Faze the slight edge here but its really a 50:50 at this point. If you wanna be safe just skip it!
